It is of course understood that many modi- Hcations maybe made by those familiar with this art Without departing from the spirit of this invention. Changes may be made in the form and proportion ot' parts. Portions of this apparatus may be omitted and parts of the same maybe employed in connection with other devices Without departing from the spirit of this invention. We do not, therefore, desire to be limited to the disclosure which We have made in this case; but

What We claim as new, and what we desire to secure by Letters Patent, is set forth in the appended claims:

l. In Hanging apparatus, a support, an arm revolubly mounted in bearings in said support, a hammer mounted to traverse on said arm, a tubular traverse-rod connected to said hammer, the outer end of said traverse-rod being threaded, a nut and hand-Wheel coperating with said threaded traverse-rod to traverse said hammer, a Worm-segment and a Worm connected With a hand-Wheel to oscillate said arm and hammer, and a die with which said hammer cooperates.

2. In Hanging apparatus, a support, an arm revolubly mounted in said su pport, a hammer mounted to traverse upon said arm, means to operate said hammer from said support by Huid-pressure, means to traverse and to osand means on said support to oscillate audio traverse said hammer.

4. In Hanging apparatus, a die, a support, an arm extending outward from said support and firmly supported at one end therein, a pressure device mounted to traverse on said arm and operating at an angle thereto, means to operate said pressure device and means to traverse said pressure device along said arm during the operation of the same.

5. In Hanging apparatus, a support, provided with hearings, an arm revolubly mounted in said bearings, a hammer mounted upon said arm, to be operated from said support, oscillating-gear to oscillate said hammer during its operation, and a die With which said hammer coperates. 4

6. In Hanging apparatus, a support provided With bearings,au arm revolubly mounted in said bearings, a hammer mounted to traverse upon said arm to operate Within a tubular article and means to oscillate said arm during its operation.

7. In Hanging apparatus, a support, bearings in said support, a projecting arm revoluhly mounted in said bearings at one end of the same, a pressure device mounted to traverse on said arm, means to operate said pres sure device and means to traverse and to oscillate said pressure device during its operation.

8. In Hanging apparat-us, a support provided With bearings, a projecting arm revolubly mounted in said bearings at one end of the same, a pressure device mounted upon said arm to be operated by Huid-pressure from said support, and oscillating-gear on said support to oscillate said pressure device during its operation.
